- the impurity concentration profile of the buried region 125 in a depth direction Z may have a shape of a tail which is relatively elongated in the direction of the ion implantation, i.e., along a path that the impurities are implanted. Accordingly, considering that the thickness of the drift regions 130 , 135 may be substantially decreased according to the tail shape of the impurity concentration profile of the buried region 125 , the drift regions 130 , 135 will have to be formed in a relatively larger thickness.

Accordingly, EMI noise generation can be minimized.
- the power device 1000 a can perform fast switching during turn-off switching, while preventing EMI noise which may be otherwise generated due to overshoot.
